Currents

Mood: a mixture of depressed, excited, and exhausted. It's lasted for a month or so as of this date.

Music:

Black Breath-Razor to Oblivion
Victims-...In Blood
Amorphis-Elegy
Kylesa-Static Tensions (yes, still. Probably going to be in my top 5 of the year)
Rotten Sound-everything

Movies:
Saw Star Trek. Was cool. Never really dug on the series, though I remember seeing Insurrection in theaters back in the day, despite being somewhat confused during the majority of it.
Trying to catch Terminator: Salvation this week. Ditto with Drag Me to Hell. Sam Raimi's doing horror again. Sweet.

Books:
I finished collecting and reading all of Preacher. What a phenomenal story. I can't really see how one could adapt this into a film, or even a TV series. Oddly enough, I found that the thing I related to the most in here was that every character was flawed, and that Ennis put you in that moral gray area, leaving you to determine if what action was taken was the right one or not. That and a certain Irish vampire being eerily reminiscent of someone I know...
I've had a sudden interest in Dennis Lehane's work. It's most likely due to two of his stories being adapted to the big screen (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone) and them both turning out fantastic. I don't know. I checked out Coronado from the library. I'll see how that is.

Concerts:

Well that's what the other blog is for yeah?

Quick update on the movies part as well: I DVR'd Kung Fu Panda, which I never caught in theaters. I wish I had. Incredibly entertaining. Would watch again. For a CGI kid's film, the fight scenes were awesome.
